Description
As early as the 1920s, Mine Safety Appliances designed the All Service Gas Mask for miners and other similar professions. The MSA All Service face piece was the basis for a multitude of different industrial protective masks manufactured well into the 1950s, and sometime during the 1940s the US military used the All Service face piece for several "Special Purpose" gas masks. They were given different designations that corresponded to their filters and the gases they protected against.
